A Quitter's Confession

Meet Ms. Walk-Out

I am a self-confessed freak.

I am a coward, I only let myself pretend I was fearless. But I am not.

I talk a loud and blurt my voice with fierce words, to protect me from my fear.

I don’t like defeat. I do not want to be corrected. I hated embarrassment.

And if I cannot hide my fear anymore, I give up.

I run away.

I literally walk out of the door.

I am a good escape artist, in any way you can imagine.

I may not be good with breaking locks but I am pretty sure of leaving a place, people, a scene, a stress, a job, a relationship, a friend and even a family if I sense defeat.

I just return in that conflict when fear has already faded.

I am a con in fleeing. And an expert in returning.

I hope one day I can really stay and face the battle even through defeat.

I hope can put my head up high and still modestly accept failure.

Meet the new Queen...

I am Ms. Walk-Out Queen.
